Description

The purpose of new radiotherapy techniques is to better deliver dose conformation in the tumour volume while diminishing organs at risk exposition. Their development is soaring in the breast cancer field in the adjuvant setting with intensity-modulated radiation therapy but also in cerebral and extracerebral oligometastastic presentation. Their usage is still being debated for breast cancer care. The objective of this narrative review is to list and discuss clinical data at our disposal for these news technologies.
